A
bullet with speed 511 m/s and mass m = 5.00 g is shot into a
stationary block of wood hanging a distance h1 = 1.00 m above the
ground, as shown in Figure 1. The block is hanging by a string of
length r = 0.30 m. The bullet is lodged in the block, and the
block-bullet system swings so that the string makes an angle of θ =
60.0° when the string breaks, as shown in Figure 2. The
block-bullet system then falls to the ground a horizontal distance
d2 = 2.00 m from its position when the string breaks. Ignoring the
effects of air resistance, determine the mass, M of the block of
wood.
